The compounds of this invention are useful as antiinflammatory agents. For example, in a test for determination of anti-inflammatory activity in warm-blooded mammals such as mice employing a procedure described by ODriscoll et al., Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, volume 42 (1964), it was found that some of the compounds are capable of suppressing lung inflammation in albino mice to a marked degree and in some instances to an extent estimated to be up to 55.2% over untreated mice. Accordingly, these compounds are useful in treating the inflammatory process either systemically or locally. In use, the compounds of this invention are combined with an inert pharmaceutical diluent to form TABLE I N-R1 R R R2 R3 MLP C 1 CH3 CH NCONHCH H 156-157 2 CH --NHGOOC2H5 H 167-168 3 CH -N'HCOOC2H5 6-Cl 190-191 4.-.--- CH -NHCOOC2H5 7-OCONHCH3 I! 175-178 5 CH -NHCOOC-2H5 8-OCH3 166-167 6 CHzCH=CH2 NHCOOG2H5 H 113-114 7--.

dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, suppositories, parentals and the like with the active ingredient being present in an amount from 1 mg. to 1000 mg. per dosage unit. The compounds of this invention may also be combined with other known therapeutic agents, for example, steroids such as Bmethasone, [3-methasone-17-valerate, prednisolone, cortisone and the like, analgesics such as aspirin, tranquilizers such as the 1,4-benzodiazepines, antibiotics such as neomycin, colymycin, anti-histamines such as chlorpheniramine and the like to enhance and broaden their therapeutic spectrum. The compounds of this invention are useful as intermediates for the production of other novel compounds as exemplified by the following reactions.

(1) Treatment with NaOR Treatment of compounds exemplified by Formula I with sodium hydroxide in an alcohol such as methanol causes ring opening to give compounds of type V:

R] R2 R3 /\'/\N R1 on. III-R1 R4 R4 000R.

(2) Reduction Compounds having a ketone group may be reduced to alcohols by sodium borohydride to give compounds of type VI:

CIH2COCH3 In turn compounds of type VI may be converted by reaction 1 to compounds of type V.

(3) Conversion to other heterocycles Compounds having 1,2 and 1,3-dicarbonyl groups may be converted to other heterocycles, for example:

These compounds will form the basis of further applications.

According to the process of this invention, the compounds are prepared by reacting compounds of the Formula II:

with any compound having an active hydrogen atom. Thus, they are reacted with a compound of the formula R H wherein said active hydrogen is attached to the bond of, for example, NH COOR or H NSO O H The reaction is conducted in an inert solvent such as benzene, toluene, chloroform or tetrahydrofuran in the presence of an acidic catalyst such as p-toluene sulfonic acid; the reaction is effected byheating together the reactants in a suitable vessel. It is preferable, in some instances, to include in the reaction vessel provision for effecting simultaneous azeotropic distillation of the solvent to remove the water formed thereby expediting the completion of the reaction. A suitable device for water removal is a Dean-Stark trap. The desired reaction products are recovered by simply evaporating the reaction mixture to dryness and recrystallizing the product from a suitable solvent such as ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, cyclohexane and the like.

The starting materials used in the above reaction are prepared in accordance with directions given by R. E. Strube et al., Recueil 83 No. 9-10, p. 1191 (1964).

It has also been found that in carrying out this reaction, Compound II itself reacts to form compounds of the Formula III:

III

Compounds corresponding to III are not within the scope of this invention but will form the basis of a further application.

In order to further illustrate the invention, the following examples are given. All temperatures are given in degrees centigrade and room temperature is at 20 to 30 C.
